The initial part of Subata is hard. When I was level 42 I accidently wandered off into level 47 amber horde ships. I won that battle, but it was hard since those guys were 6 levels higher. All 3 companions died. Hated that battle.

In regards to ships, you can buy a level 42 mooshu galleon to clear of most ships in mooshu, although a level 50 mooshu galleon is also there.

My Suggestion:
Wait until you are level 48 to get the level 50 mooshu ship. I gained about 25 nautical levels with my ship called the "Bamboo Bamboo".

Sounds like you might need to invest your gold into a higher ship. Also, when fighting ships stay on the outside of the packs and pick someone that is sailing away from the nearest neighbor, that way you will have time to sink it before any help from his pack can show up and pummel you while you can only hit one ship at a time. Pick your targets carefully, you are a pirate after all. Be sneaky so that they don't see you as you pillage them.

If you like, lets meet in the game and I can help you with some of those ships. Vadima realm by the fountain in Avery's Court is a great place that my Chrissy's default to when they aren't questing. Got a day and time that you would like to meet?

Oh, and another HORRIBLE thing happened. This was with Fort Basset. I thought I was going to get help from another pirate. So we went to the sigil. He said "..." and stepped on it. I stepped on with him, thinking he would help me. When I got in, however, he wasn't there. When I got out, I was shocked at his betrayal. He was on the sigil, and he left ALONE. Tears started to well up in my eyes as I saw this mortifying event. You don't need chat to be bullied in a game. Even my friends were busy. I am SO lonely!

Hello Pretty Cheryl Walker,

I am Two-Faced Valkor Ohlen- a level 65 and I am truly saddened by your plight. I for one love to help out any friend as well as just others passing through. Many times I have hit the flee button towards the end of a quest when someone has desperately cried for help Just the other day I made a quick stop in Avery's Court to check out the bazaar for possible gear and a pirate named Vanessa asked if I could help her (I think she was a level 27 or so). She wanted to get to Aquila in hopes of getting lots of gold and to build up her nautical XP so that she could buy a better ship.

At the time I was ready to start a quest that I had been putting off for awhile but still I couldn't bear sending her away and rejecting her call for help. I told her to friend me and that I would use transportalator to get to Aquila and that she could then teleport to me. Once she arrived I showed her where all the respawning chests were in Nova Aquila and then had her follow me to the Achaean skyways where I would lead the battle charge to defeat Ophidian ships.

We were soon joined by a few other ships and began some good old nautical farming Most of the other ships were much lower levels than mine (level 65) so I offered to lead the way. Plus I was fortunate enough to have used crowns to buy the Eagle heavy galleon and all the high end eagle ship parts. After about 1 hour Vanessa said she had enough gold to buy her ship (and had moved up several levels), she thanked me and she set sail back to Cool Ranch to buy ship and do some questing. After several minutes of helping other ships in Aquila she asked if I would help her defeat ships in Cooper's Roost Skyway. I told my nautical buddies I would be right back, went to help her defeat 12 ships for quest and returned to lend aid back in Achaean SW.

I ended up hanging around for about 1 1/2 hours helping others gain naut. XP even though I was maxed out.

The purpose of the friends list should be to help others when they need it and be able to trust that they will do the same when you need it (plus have some fun just chatting) Let's face it, almost all of us have needed or at least appreciated help at one time or another. What a relief it is when your health is nearing dangerously low levels and a friend pops in the battle to save your hide. I know that some take advantage of this but effort should at least be given to support your fellow pirates

This post is not at all a boasting of some sorts on my part, it is simply just a way of saying that I love to help and if our paths should cross in game, I would be honored to stand beside you, Pretty Cheryl Walker, as a friend to help in any way I can. That goes for anybody else out there looking for help All I would ask in return is a simple thanks (or ty) and that you would help out other pirates in their times of need.

After all, it is a dangerous Spiral out there and us pirates have to stick together
Happy Sailing to All

Oh come now. Your a Buccaneer! You gotta stay tough. My advice to you is first raise your nautical level by sinking ships from earlier worlds such as Cool Ranch or Mooshu. Do some side quests as well. They can offer you nautical XP and training points to level up your Companions. Take the game one step at a time and you'll reach El Dorado. Stay strong soldier!

OMG That is SO sweet

Go fight some enemies and get some gold to buy a better ship then it won't give you any trouble. I know how you feel about playing alone. I too would like friends I could meet with and quest together but I'm finding that people on here only friend you to get help on their own quests and will not be anywhere to be found once you need help with your own. They only use you to level up. I find that very sad. I don't have a problem helping but when I'm done helping don't just say thanks and leave ask if there is anything you can help the other person with. Do you have this annoyance too?

It is a problem for me as well. There have been lots of instances when a friend repeatedly asks for help and you go out of your way to help them. Many times after you help they don't even stick around long enough to say thanks, much less ask if you need help. You just get stranded in some far off, out of the way place with no transportalator or fast travel option. Lonely and left to your own devices to navigate yourself back to where you were.

But hey, we are all just a bunch of pirates, right? Manners and etiquette don't exactly go hand in hand with plundering and reeking havoc on the high skyways. Good luck to you
